Friction info and animations

Friction Blocks Lab Questions:

Part A:
1. Does it take more force to start and object sliding over a surface or to keep it sliding at a constant speed?
2. How do the frictional forces between the two different experiments compare? What influence does the
surface are have on the frictional force? Why?
Part B:
3. Which surfaces in contact with each other produced the largest frictional force?
4. What influences the frictional force between the sliding objects?
